It looks like the LPix Test poster doesn't like dropbox.  Do these images look ok?   They're now PNG's, and much much smaller.

Hello there, um... this is my first time doing a screenshot LP, so I was wondering if I did this all right. If I made any mistakes or anything, criticisms would be much appreciated.

Turtlicious posted:It looks like the LPix Test poster doesn't like dropbox. Two things. First, it looks like there's a smoothing filter on. You don't want that with a pixelly game; you want to turn off all that fancy stuff before you capture video/screenshots. It looks better without the emulator filters. You also want to avoid smoothing/resampling if you're resizing the screenshots, as well. Second, it's best to use LPix.org for your SSLPs, since that's what it was made for, and all. (thanks baldurk!)

The game looks like it's designed for a 4:3 display, but the videos are in 16:9. I can understand the desire to fill the screen, but I really think you should pillarbox to 4:3 to match what the game displays.

Okay, so if I did it right, what I'm saying now should be an itty bit smaller like this. I'm not sure how to make it -that- tiny, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Anyways,I guess unless there's something else that's off. I can go ahead and post it? Unless there's a waiting period for these sorts of things...

Niggurath posted:What people might have been referring to was keeping it at a 720 resolution. There are 4:3 aspect ratios with 720 resolutions, such as 960x720. If anything you want to keep the aspect ratio correct and maybe resize it from that ratio. This. You'll want to render the video at 720p, yes, but keep your footage at a 4:3 resolution. What do you use for video rendering and editing? For my Jazz Jackrabbit LP, I resize my raw recording footage by 4 times normal size, to go from 320x200 to 1280x800. There, in Sony Vegas, the video is resized to fit in a 16:9 aspect ratio for youtube: 1152x720, with slight pillarboxing on the sides to fill it out and keep the pixels at a 1:1 ratio, giving my final project resolution of 720p. What I recommend you do is resize your 640x480 video to 2x, giving you 1280x960. Then resize it to 960x720 in your video rendering software, and pillarbox it to 720p. You could export your video as 1280x960 or 960x720 but I have no idea what YouTube will do with video that's not 720p or 1080p or bigger.

Both 1280x960 and 960x720 work just fine on Youtube. Do not add unnecessary black bars, do not resize more often than necessary, try to always resize to even integer multiples of your source resolution.

I massively preferred Episode 2, without compression. If you don't use compression, you should be good to fly for subsequent episodes. Again, it'll push up your file size a little, but the quality DOES translate onto Youtube. Edit: I also noticed a fair amount of pausing. I would suggest doing the live track like I'm guessing you're doing, but listening to it over and repeating anything you said that didn't come out quite the way you liked (so if you paused or inflected weirdly, you can fix it up in post.)

Just do everything. Amp, then noise reduce, then compress, then autoduck. Make it your goal to hit every possible option in the effects menu. Maybe throw a stereo to mono in there, then mix and render something. This is actually most of my workflow

Is that serious advice? I've kind of tended toward 'does it not sound like gargling tar or whispering from another room? Good enough" in regards to audio work.
